Romans

This Catholic commentary on Romans interprets Scripture from within the living tradition of the Church for pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students. "Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch have written a masterful commentary on Romans that is theologically insightful and pastorally relevant. While dealing adeptly with the historical and literary background of Romans, they always keep the focus on its theological content and meaning for our lives. I recommend this work to all who want to discover the powerful message of Paul's great Letter to the Romans." -- Frank J. Matera, Catholic University of America "Hahn and Mitch's commentary on Romans is lucid, penetrating, theologically alert, and a joy to read. It will be of interest to both scholar and nonscholar alike. Hahn's status as one of the most prominent Catholic converts from Protestantism makes his treatment of this great Pauline text, which was of such significance to Luther and the other Reformers, of particular interest." -- Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles "Hahn and Mitch have written an informative, elegant, and learned commentary on Romans. The exegesis is crisp, the explanations are clear, and the judgments are consistently sensible. One of the best commentaries available on Romans from within the Catholic tradition. A treat to read and a treasure to hold." -- Michael F. Bird, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia "The vibrant wisdom of this commentary exceeds that of commentaries many times its size. Judicious in its sifting of the scholarly literature, profound in its handling of sensitive Jewish-Christian themes, and powerful in its proclamation of the gospel, this deeply Catholic commentary will find a notable place among his most enduring and influential books." -- Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary For more information on the series, visit Examine the New Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church In this addition to the successful Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS) series, Scott Hahn, a bestselling author and a leading Catholic interpreter of Scripture, and Curtis Mitch examine Romans from within the living tradition of the Church.
